Any Excelsior ADN Nursing Grads out there??

[LisaMB1978]

Good Evening everyone,

I am currently looking into applying to the Excelsior ADN Nursing that they offer online. I have most of my questions answered already but I am looking to speak with someone who has gotten their ADN or someone who is currently in the program now. I'd appreciate any information at all about this program and what I should expect. Please, if you have gone through this program, or are in the process of it, then could you please send me a message? I would appreciate being able to speak with you! Thank you! Have a wonderful night :)

I graduated this past year. It allowed me to be promoted to a management position within only a few months. I would recommend this program if you are disciplined, focused, and a self learner. I found many useful links here, and by googling on the Internet. Do not fall for the publishing companies that offer the teaching guides!! Use the practice exams thru Excelsior and purchase their DVD teaching the clinicals. Good luck!

clhankin67 ....First of all thank you for your quick reply! How long did it take you to complete the program? Were you a LPN prior to this program?

I was an LPN for 16 years. I had 3 general Ed courses and 5 nursing courses. It took about 2 years including clinicals and boards, but I really had to focus.

I am so happy I found this site. I am an LPN have been one for about nine years. I am a single mother and want to extend my education. I was ready some really negative comments about EC and the CPNE, but many people are very very positive here. Thanks everyone, I will be starting my journey soon.
